How good is 5ms monitor for gaming?

tjs323

Will I get monitor lag, or ghost? If so, how much? I have lotys of ram< and a good video card, along with a good processor.

Answer
I answered this question yesterday for you.

"It has a 5 ms response time which is good for gaming. The slower the response time the more motion blur there is. Like a 15 ms monitor would be horrible for DVD's and games cause it will be just a blur. 5 ms is really fast and would work really good for gaming. Of course there is 2 ms monitors but after a point you cant tell and its basically for showing off to your nerdy friends if you have a 2 ms monitor."

Answer
SAMSUNG 245BW Black High Glossy 24" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height Adjustment 400 cd/m2 1000:1 (DC 3000:1) - Retail
Windows Vista Certified

The 5ms Response rate is a must for an extreme gamer. (by the looks of your video card I would say you are). The lower response rate, the better. For a 24 inch monitor this is an amazing response rate. I use the 20 inch Samsung in this model and it has a 2ms response rate. It is awesome for gaming. The colors are flawless and the monitor looks sophisticated.

I talk about the response rate because of ghosting. If you are playing good quality games (like Oblivion, F.E.A.R, and such) you will have to have a low response rate, or else your images can have a bluring effect and make you lag for a brief second. That brief second can mean life or death in a FPS (first person shooter).

I really hope that my answer helped. If you think my answer is the best please give me the "best answer reward" as a "thank you" in return.

Gaming Monitor Recommendations?

JamesisJex

I'm wanting to make a gaming rig I already got some educated advice for cards and a cpu but one thing I'm going to need its a top notch monitor. My price range 150-250$. I'd like to pay the least amount possible but i do need the quality so recommendations?
Note, I'm considering 3D but I think it's a gimmick so I don't want to pay extra for it, but it would be cool.

Answer
Im very happy with the Dell U2311H I just purchased. If you want a monitor for movies AND games you should look into 1080p monitors (unless the black borders don't bother you, then a 1900x1200 should be fine).

The dell U2311H is an 8-bit ips monitor. All TN panels are 6-bit, and use dithering to display the full 16.7 million colors that a 8-bit panel can produce without dithering.

IPS is notorious for having a better picture and color reproduction than TN panels. IPS is also notorious for being slower, but with this 8ms Dell model I don't notice much difference coming from a 5ms TN. I play FPS games too and its fine for me.

Google tftcentral for some good reviews, check out some of the new monitors. If you are going for a TN panel I recommend the Samsung PX2370 LED or the XL2370-1 LED. IPS picture is much prettier though not quite as fast.

The Dell U2711 is a really good monitor as well that I may of considered if I wanted to spend three times the price.

I am convinced that the Dell U2311 (23inch) is the best monitor money can buy for around $250 US if you buy it with a sale and/or coupon. The 24 inch U2411 is $500 and is wide gamut - which is a whole different topic

What is a good gaming monitor?

Vince W

I don't really want to know a good gaming monitor. I just want to know what 5ms or 2ms means. I'm looking at a monitor with 5ms and was wondering if that is good for gaming or should I look for something lower like 4 or 3ms...again I don't even really know what that means

I've been looking for a good gaming monitor on a budget. Any ideas?

gaming monitor 5ms image

Steven Lee

Specifically speaking, I want them to look good for both games and documents. Because I hear that sometimes good gaming monitors have trouble displaying text right. Anyways my budget is 350, so it can be up to that but not above. Unless the ones above are really worth the extra money. I'd appreciate any help guys.

Answer
Earlier this year Consumer Reports reviewed LCD monitors like they do every year. In the 22" Wide Screen and larger category the winner was the Acer P221w. I had bought that same monitor the month before and I totally agree with Consumer Reports. Excellent display quality both in and out of games.

2500:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
5ms Response Time
1680x1050 Resolution

You can pick one up here

For $350 you could probably find some 24" or even 26" monitor but they will not be as good as far as quality. 22" is still very large and you'll appreciate the better picture.

What tv (32") should I use as a computer monitor?

Jack White

I'll try to be brief. Should I buy the 1080p and 120 hz or should I go for a cheaper option? I have found an Insignia brand from best buy with 1080p and 120HZ with a 6.5ms response rate at a reasonable price with good reviews. This will be used almost strictly as a computer gaming monitor. FYI Running crossfire with Radeon 4850's

Answer
well if you want the best quality i would say buy the 1080p tv and connect it using an
HDMI cable which are very good for the best quality and either way i would choose a hd tv!! hope this helps!!

What's the best gaming monitor my budget is 200$?

gaming monitor 5ms image

Jordan

I want a gaming monitor for my PS3 my TV is shitty.
Want it as fast as possible at least 2ms.

Answer
You don't need 2ms. 2ms would mean you need 500 frames per second to really utilize 2ms. 5ms is good.

I would get this one because it's so cheap right now and it's a good monitor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009421
Use PROMOCODE : VALPAK10 to save $10 which makes this $99.

This is a good one too:

How important is a monitor's response time for watching movies?

C T

I understand that response time is important for gaming, but how important is it for movies? Is 2ms very different than 5ms? My monitor is 2ms, but it stopped functioning, so I'm concerned that if I buy a monitor with 5ms, the difference will be noticeable.

Answer
It is unlikely that you'll see much difference in response time between 2 and 5 ms, unless you're really fine-tuned for it. It's the grey-to-grey time which is important when watching movies, not the black-to-black. You should be fine with the 5 ms screen.
